[center][i] Interacting with Micky Woulfe ([@alexfangtalon]) [/i][/center]

Gaia noticed some movement in the corner of her eye and looked quite apprehensively towards the direction of movement.  The amethyst ring glittered on her finger and she fiddled with it before she caught a man's eye.  She think he had introduced himself earlier as Micky (what a name!), a student with what seemed to be quite the passion for music.  Personally, she thought he looked not at all like what she would've expected from a soulmate.  He seemed excitable, young and active whereas maybe sometimes she would've preferred someone more mature, calm and refined. But who was she to choose, right? She was a handful enough and it was still a godsend that she'd gotten at least someone who would prove as a good friend at the very least.

She frowned, unsure of how to proceed before lifting herself off the chair and smoothing down her dress which had gotten a bit wrinkled.  She walked back over to where Micky was seated and stood awkwardly beside his chair, heels sinking into the lush carpet before blinking and opening her mouth to speak, her glossed lips sticking together slightly before she pried them apart.

She quickly tried to get over her mistake by sticking out her hand and hoping that he would take it.  Even though she wasn't as impressed as she should've been with him (damn her close mindedness) she didn't want to seem rude or make him not like her.  He seemed like a decent guy, but maybe not [i]her[/i] guy? Gaia didn't know.

[color=rosybrown]"It's nice to meet you.  I'm Gaia if you didn't notice me earlier.  Um...I really don't know how to hold a proper conversation so you'd have to excuse me on that, as well as any underlying tones of sarcasm.  I don't deal well with all of this."[/color] She waved her hands around, making a vague gesture about the whole situation before she felt the heat rise in her cheeks.  At this rate she was imagining Micky already starting to stand up, demanding that he'd be given a new soulmate.  Of course no one would want to be paired with her, and all the mess/baggage she carried.  Gaia tried to straighten up but grimaced as she tried to push the thoughts out of her mind.
